‘Jack and the Beanstalk’

LISA ADAMS/The Acorn MAGIC BEANS-Katherine Frees, left, Leila Nojouki and Alice Shatz sing a song during a production of "Jack and the Beanstalk" at Westlake Elementary School last week. The three girls are group cast in the role of Jack's mother, and the lyrics lament that Jack has traded away all their worldly goods for three magic beans. The play was performed twice by a cast of 87 first-graders.
